Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to form a smooth dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Add the whole almonds into the dough and mix until they are evenly distributed.
Lightly flour a work surface and turn out the dough. Divide it into two equal portions.
Shape each portion into a log about 30 cm (12 inches) long and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each log for spreading.
Flatten each log slightly, then bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the logs cool for about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).
Once the logs are cool enough to handle, use a sharp serrated knife to cut them diagonally into 1 cm (0.4 inch) thick slices.
Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven.
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping the cookies halfway through, until they are dry and crisp.
Allow the cantuccini to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your vegan almond cantuccini with a cup of coffee or tea.
